A decades-long effort to recover mass burial plots from the 1921 Tulsa race riot has been spurred forward after an investigation found that two sites in the Oklahoma city may contain unmarked mass graves.
Scientists and forensic anthropologists have been examining three locations in Tulsa since October. On Monday, the city's 1921 Mass Graves Investigation Public Oversight Committee presented the results publicly and discussed how the city should proceed.
What the investigation foundA geophysical survey, a type of archeological scanning, was performed at three sites around Tulsa -- Newblock Park, Oaklawn Cemetery, and a triangular area of land near the Arkansas River called The Canes.Researchers used technologies to search for magnetic variations in the soil and moisture content difference, as well as radar to determine the depth and size of things underground, the committee's expert members explained.
